4 Research Questions What is the scope of interlocal agreements? Are they used more for one type of public service than another? What are the long and short term trends in use of ILAs? Are they used more by one type of local government than another (e.g., more commonly by counties than cities)? What considerations prompt the creation of management agreements? Do underlying social networks improve the likelihood that ILAs will be created? Are economic and fiscal factors more important than management factors as the impetus for creating agreements? What are the management tools for creating and maintaining successful interlocal agreements? do underlying social networks improve the likelihood that ILAs will be maintained successfully? What role does information technology play in the management of agreements?
